DUFFY, Norma Lillian - (83) Passed away peacefully on August 9th 2018, following her loving husband into eternal bliss after 5 months of being separated by the strings of fate. Predeceased by her parents William Francis and Norma Compton and her brother Gordon William Compton; she is survived by her many nieces and nephews, her sister Joan Frances Pond as well as her sister in law Marilyn Compton. A loving mother, she leaves behind Sean Duffy, and his wife Teresa, is grandmother to Krystal Duffy, and Katherine Duffy (Bouchard) and great-grandmother to six-year-old Andraia and five-year-old William. She will be greatly missed as she and her husband had become almost a daily part of their lives. A graduate of The School of Nursing, Toronto General Hospital, 1956, Norma was praised for her people skills, and her ability to throw herself heart and soul, into everything she did. She was either working with a patient or making a loving home for the man who stole her heart every day for over 50 years. Being a nurse for so many years of her life, she hated asking for help even when needed knowing how swamped those who work in our care system can get. In the last few months of her life Norma was able to do something so many of us only dream about, and hope for. She made her peace with those around her, allowing her passing to have a sense of calm finality few of us ever get to experience in life. She will be missed but her family takes solace in her release from a body that contained only half a heart and soul. She truly had something that is so hard to find. True Love, and a broken heart can only beat so long missing its other half. May memories of her bring smiles, as she and Don are remembered as one. Cremation has taken place. Friends may call at the INNISFIL FUNERAL HOME, 7910 Yonge Street (Stroud) on Sunday, September 9th, 2018 from 12 noon until the time of service at 2:00 p.m. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to the charity Myasthenia Gravis.

Sean, please accept Ted's and my condolences on your family's loss of Norma recently. She was my class-mate at T.G.H., my long-time friend, and sometimes my partner in fun misadventures during those three years of training! She was kind and generous to her friends and patients alike, and I am already missing her. We, Ted and I, have multiple memories that are firmly in our respective memories, and in that way, part of her will be with us always.
Affectionately,
Ted and Christina (Fraser) Scott
